We are getting frequent request timeouts and have specified...

- throw exceptions
- disable direct streaming
- a 2 minute request timeout
- up to 5 retries
- a max retry timeout of 10 minutes

... on the client and are executing an xpack/sql style query via`QuerySqlAsync()`. The logs show that after 2 minutes the overall operation aborts. I would expect to see that after ~10 minutes if all the requests that are retried timeout. It does not look like there is any retry happening. Is there an event handler that is fired on Retry that I can attach a listener to?

Is there anything in the settings I've listed above that seems to be incorrect? I read the docs page for it a few times but still may be missing something.
